If there is one actress who has been able to represent Italian cinema in the world, it is Sophia Loren. Let's review together some beautiful photos from the past of the last great Italian diva.

Here is Sophia Loren in a photo taken in August 1958 in Los Angeles.

Here she is in her role of 'The River Girl,' in 1954.

In 1955, she played Carmela in 'The Miller's Beautiful Wife,' a film directed by Mario Camerini.

We can also admire the actress in those years in a few color photos.

Another meeting with the British royal family, at Buckingham Palace, with Queen Elizabeth II shaking hands with actress Jayne Mansfield in 1957. Over time, Sophia and Mansfield would give rise to various headlines, for example when Loren glared at the low-cut dress of the American actress.

It was 1962 and Sophia was at the Oscars for 'La Ciociara.' She also appeared in 'Boccaccio 70' that year; an ensemble film directed by the four giants of Italian neorealism: Mario Monicelli, Federico Fellini, Luchino Visconti, and Vittorio de Sica.
